Remember last year when it was widely reported that the Niners moved up for Mac Jones?  I keep hearing the rumors about Walker going #1, but I am not sure he'd be in my top 5.

I am also hearing that the Giants like Cross--want a pass-blocking OT and they like him over Neal and Ikwonu. 

There is some interesting talk about the top 2 CBs--and Houston and the Jets are possible spots.

Detroit:  Please take a QB....Please!

I think 2 Edge rushers (Hutchinson and Thibodeaux) will be gone before we pick-probably 3.

Walker is the most physically gifted guy but you wonder why he didn't produce at a high level in college.

Icky and Moton as bookends... i'd love it.

i'd almost say after that, trade all the rest of the picks away and add them onto next year's draft, pack it up, and go home before we fug anything up.

Reposting from another thread: USA Today's comparison for Ekwonu is Moton.

 

NFL Comparison: Taylor Moton. The 2017 second-round pick of the Panthers out of Western Michigan has a similar heat-seeking, pure badass profile to Ekwonu’s, as he showed in 2020 against the Atlanta Falcons.

At 6-foot-5 and 325 pounds, Moton can be susceptible to speed rushers at times (just as Ekwonu can), but teams with power-based offenses will be falling all over themselves to get a tackle with Ekwonu’s power profile. We’d like to see Ekwonu and Moton playing tackle for the same team, because that would be quite fun.

Not sure that it is, he is really young.

The other two guys are very athletic and also massive. If they max out their potential, it would be hard for Cross to reach that. Not saying it is impossible but he is just physically a lot slighter and not the kind of dominating force that the other two are.

Now, all that being said, OT isn't all about being a fuging brute. Cross is a much more polished pass protector, so he very well could end up being the best of the bunch. 

 

IMO.....I don't give a fug at all. Give me any of the three and I will be stoked.

Cross's ceiling is lower than the other too but he seems like the most polished pass protector. 

I think his ceiling is higher than the other two and is the best pass protector. Cross is great .. if he were on Bama he's the consensus best T in class.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      The #Panthers explored the possibility of adding Jaire Alexander, but there was never an offer made, a league source told @theobserver.   https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1935436577649401872?s=46

      Young, been named Top Riser for 2025

      Yes I agree, the future RT could easily be christ. When he shocking re-signed here for the cheap, he said part of the reason was the OL coaching staff.  I've already thought too much about 2026. The RT has all the options, including resigning Motown. I was never a big fan, but he's solid and peptides and stem cells can fix a gippy knee. If he makes it though this year and wants to return, why not for 2 years 16 million?? Or like you said give the job to Christ or draft your RT...... that I feel is the best current method. With both OGs in the 20 million per cap range and Icky......ooooooooooo boy he could be the first 30 million per OLmen in NFL history. That's a huge portion of cap space for the OL, which I agree with, but in order to offset those 20 and 30 million deals... you need cheap rookie contracts. (unless Motown would take a huge pay cut and whoever the C will be).  This is the deepest OL I can recall in Panthers history.  I believe Morgan should try and trade either Kingston or Zavala.  I didn't even talk about Yosh, Tarquin, or Walton. Yosh is same age as christ and why not him as RT after good swing tackle years? Tarquin is a UDFA on the prayer program, 150,000 in guarantees and why not him in 2026? Walton seems to be a OL coach favorite, he followed the Tampa Bay staff here after 2 years there and add in one year here, he's stuck around for some reason. I think they need to spend very light on RT and Panthers have lots of options, I love it.
